Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cast housing, and in particular to a cast housing of a transmission with an improved fluid path for lubricating a bearing.
- a conventional transmission can include an outer cast housing that encloses gears, shafts, clutches, friction/reaction plates, variators, planetary gear sets, bearings, etc.
- the outer cast housing can be formed by a plurality of housings connected to one another.
- the internal components of the transmission can reach extreme
- a bearing for example, requires a lubricant to be applied or sprayed into contact therewith in order to maintain the temperature of the bearing below a certain threshold. Once the bearing temperature exceeds the threshold, the bearing can fail causing potential damage to the transmission and negatively affecting its operation.
- a bearing or other internal component is lubricated.
- One such way for example, is to apply lubrication to the bearing before it is installed or assembled in the transmission.
- a pump can supply a lubricant to a plurality of lube circuits in the transmission.
- a shaft can be drilled with lube holes to allow a lubricant to pass therethrough and provide sufficient lubrication to bearings and other internal components.
- the lubricant can be a transmission fluid such as TranSyndTM, which is a synthetic oil formulated by Castrol Ltd.
- TranSyndTM a synthetic oil formulated by Castrol Ltd.
- One skilled in the art may know of other types of lubricants.
- the amount of torque and power generated by a transmission can put a significant amount of stress on a shaft in the transmission. This stress can limit the quantity and location of lube circuits formed in the shaft.
- a bearing that would ordinarily be lubricated by a lubricant passing through a lube hole in the shaft may be lubricated in an alternative manner. Often times, the bearing may not receive enough lubrication and eventually fail, or the transmission may need to be redesigned such that more lubricant reaches the bearing.
- the bearing may need to be relocated inside the transmission where a nearby lube circuit is provided.
- lubricant is directed through lube circuits which indirectly supply lubrication to the bearing. Again, the bearing may not receive enough lubrication and eventually overheat and/or fail.
- a housing that encloses a bearing.
- the housing includes a side wall upon which a lubricant is dispersed.
- the side wall has an angularly disposed portion.
- the housing also includes a collection area that is fluidly associated with the side wall.
- a fluid circuit is integrated with the side wall such that the fluid circuit is configured to direct the lubricant into the collection area.
- the collection area can be fluidly coupled to the bearing.
- the collection area and angularly disposed portion can be formed on opposite sides of the side wall.
- a transmission in one embodiment, includes a bearing and a fluid source configured to provide fluid to the bearing.
- the transmission also includes a housing that encloses the bearing and fluid source.
- the housing has a side wall that defines a front face and a rear face such that the front face is opposite the rear face.
- the side wall is configured to receive fluid from the fluid source.
- the housing also includes a surface angularly disposed from the front face of the side wall and a collection area formed between the rear face of the side wall and the bearing.
- the collection area is fluidly associated with the surface and configured to collect fluid.
- a fluid circuit is defined along the front face and the surface and is configured to direct the fluid into the collection area.
- a housing for providing lubrication to a bearing includes a wall upon which a lubricant is dispersed.
- the wall has a first portion and a second portion such that the second portion is sloped from the first portion.
- the housing further includes a means for collecting the lubricant.
- the means for collecting is disposed adjacent to the bearing.
- the housing also includes a means for directing the lubricant from the wall to the means for collecting. The means for directing is fluidly associated with the means for collecting.
- a method of lubricating a bearing in a housing of a transmission includes a side wall that is defined by a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the housing is angularly disposed from the first portion.
- the housing further includes a recessed portion defined between the side wall and the bearing.
- the method includes applying a lubricant to the side wall and directing the lubricant from the first portion to the second portion of the side wall.
- the lubricant is collected in the recessed portion and the bearing is lubricated with the collected lubricant.
- the method can further include guiding the lubricant along the first portion of the side wall.
- An advantage associated with the various embodiments described above is the ability to provide sufficient lubrication to the bearing without providing a lube circuit through a shaft, particularly when doing so would weaken the shaft.
- the housing defines the lube circuit. A portion of the housing is angularly disposed such that the lubricant is directed to a collection area. As the lubricant is received in the collection area, the lubricant collects therein and provides the necessary amount of lubrication required to maintain the bearing temperature at a reasonable level.
- the housing defines a direct lube path to the bearing.
- the lube path is indirect and an insufficient amount of lubricant reaches the bearing. As described above, this causes an undesirable condition as the bearing can overheat and fail.
- the lube circuit defined by the housing receives the lubricant from a source and guides the lubricant to the collection area directly. As a result, a sufficient amount of lubricant is collected in the collection area to lubricate the bearing.
- FIG. 1 is a partial side elevation and cross-sectional view of a portion of a transmission housing with an improved lube passage
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the housing of Fig. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a front elevation view of a portion of the housing of Fig. 1 ;
- FIG. 4 is a side schematic view of the housing of Fig. 1.
- the housing 102 can be any housing (e.g., engine, valve, etc.), but in this embodiment the housing 102 is part of a transmission 100 for a powered vehicle.
- the housing 102 can provide an enclosure for electrical and mechanical components.
- the housing 102 defines a plurality of walls that form the enclosure.
- the housing 102 can be formed of cast aluminum or any other metallic material.
- the housing can be formed of a plastic or resin material.
- One skilled in the art can appreciate other materials from which the housing 102 can be formed.
- the housing 102 in Fig. 1 is an outer housing or main case of the transmission 100.
- the housing 102 defines an inner wall 104 that encloses internal components.
- the housing 102 can define one or more inner walls 104 such that the overall enclosure is conical, cylindrical, frustoconical, cubical, or any other shape known to the skilled artisan.
- Other walls, e.g., side walls, can integrally be formed with the inner wall 104.
- a side wall 106 is formed near the top and bottom of the housing 102.
- the side wall 106 is substantially perpendicular with respect to the inner wall 104 and protrudes radially inward therefrom.
- the thickness of the side wall 106 can vary along its length. For instance, in Fig. 1, a first portion 106 A of the side wall 106 has a greater thickness than a second portion 106B disposed adjacent to the inner wall 104.
- the change in thickness of the side wall 106 can be attributed to the size and location of the electrical or mechanical components in contact with or in close proximity of the side wall 106.
- the housing 102 can at least partially enclose a variator 112, a shaft 114, a bearing 116, a retaining nut 118, and a bearing pilot 120.
- the housing 102 can also enclose additional components that are not shown.
- a variator 112 is shown in Fig. 1, a pump or other fluid source can be enclosed within the housing 102.
- the bearing pilot 120 is assembled inside the housing 102 and passes through an opening formed in the side wall 106.
- the opening can be any shape including circular, square, rectangular, oval, etc.
- the second portion 106B of the side wall 106 defines a substantially vertical surface that is oriented towards the variator 112.
- the first portion 106A of the side wall 106 defines a surface 108 that is angularly disposed or sloped from the second portion 106B.
- the surface 108 can be sloped at an angle between 0° and 45°. In one embodiment, the surface 108 is disposed at an angle between 5° and 25°. In an advantageous embodiment, the surface 108 is disposed at about 15°. As shown, the surface 108 is oriented towards the bearing 116.
- the side wall 106 forms at least two faces.
- a front face 122 defines surface 108 and is oriented substantially towards the variator 112.
- a second face 124 is oriented substantially towards the bearing 1 16 and retaining nut 118.
- a collection area 110 (e.g., recess) is formed in the housing 102 and is partially defined by the second face 124.
- the collection area 110 is adjacent to the bearing 116 such that transmission fluid, for example, can collect or "pool" therein and lubricate the bearing 116.
- the cross-section of the collection area 1 10 is substantially L-shaped to facilitate the passage of fluid to the bearing 116.
- the collection area 110 is partially defined by the bearing 116, in other embodiments a different electrical or mechanical component can partially define the collection area 110.
- a different electrical or mechanical component can partially define the collection area 110.
- any electrical or mechanical component that can be cooled by a fluid can be used for partially defining the collection area 110.
- the housing 102 at least partially defines the collection area 110, and in some embodiments the housing 102 may substantially define the entire collection area 110.
- a plurality of lube passages are shown.
- the shaft 114 has a central passage 202 through which transmission fluid can travel.
- a pair of lube passages 204, 206 are fluidly coupled at one end to the central passage 202 and extend radially outward therefrom. Transmission fluid passing through the central passage 202 is directed through the pair of lube passages 204, 206 because a seal 208 blocks the fluid from exiting through the end of the shaft 114.
- the lube passages 204, 206 are unobstructed so that fluid can pass through the central passage 202 and exit through the passages 204, 206.
- any fluid that passes through the central passage 202 and lube passages 204, 206 cannot be directed to the bearing 116. The bearing 116 therefore is unable to be lubricated in this manner.
- conventional lube circuits may include passages in the shaft 114 similar to lube passages 204, 206 that would direct fluid to the bearing.
- the amount of torque and power exerted on the shaft 114 does not allow lube passages to be formed in the shaft 114 at locations adjacent to the bearing 116.
- the shaft 114 is weakened by drilling or forming lube passages therein and thus is unable to withstand the stresses during operation. It is also not possible to move the bearing 116 along the shaft 114, as the bearing 116 is held in its location by an outer retaining ring 210 and an inner retaining ring 212. Therefore, a different but direct lube circuit is required to provide lubrication to the bearing 116.
- the improved housing 102 described above is successful in providing a direct lube circuit with sufficient lubrication for the bearing 116.
- the housing 102 includes side wall 106 that is substantially vertical with respect to the inner wall 104 and surface 108 that is angularly disposed or sloped with respect to the side wall 106.
- the side wall 106 does not have to be entirely vertically-disposed with respect to the inner wall 104.
- the side wall 106 can include protrusions, recesses, and the like.
- the surface 108 includes edges 302, 304 which can assist with fluid flow.
- the edges 302, 304 can have an angular disposition such that fluid is directed towards the collection area 110 (see Fig. 4) and collects behind the bearing 116.
- the surface 108 has a circumference less than 180°.
- the edges 302, 304 are disposed with respect to axis A-A at angles 0 2 , ⁇ ⁇ , respectively.
- Angles 0 2 , ⁇ ⁇ can be substantially the same, or in other embodiments, the two angles can be different.
- the angles 0 2 , ⁇ ⁇ can be less than 90°.
- both angles 0 2 , ⁇ ⁇ are approximately 75°. Since 0 2 , ⁇ ⁇ are less than 90°, the edges 302, 304 direct fluid from the side wall 106 and surface 108 to the collection 110.
- the side wall 106 is shown with an opening centrally defined therein (see Fig. 1).
- the bearing pilot 120 can be assembled in the housing 102 such that a portion of the bearing pilot 120 passes through the opening.
- the side wall 106, and in particular the front face 122, defines a surface 214 which is disposed near the bottom portion of the housing 102.
- the surface 214 is disposed on the opposite side of the side wall 106 from the collection area 110.
- the variator 112 can function as a fluid source.
- a pump or other device can function as a fluid source.
- the variator 112 dispenses fluid 400 in various directions. A portion of the fluid 400 is dispersed onto the inner wall 104 of the housing 102. Another portion of the fluid 400 can be dispersed directly onto the side wall 106. The portion of the fluid 400 that is dispersed onto the inner wall 104 can flow along the inner wall 104 until it is directed downwardly along the side wall 106. Fluid 400 flows along the inner wall 104 and/or side wall 106 such that a sufficient amount of the fluid 400 reaches the angularly disposed surface 108.
- the fluid 400 continues flowing along the surface 108. Some of the fluid 400 reaches the top portion of the bearing 116 (as shown in Fig. 4), whereas the remaining amount of fluid 400 flows past surface 108 and is received in the collection area 110. As the fluid 400 is received in the collection area 110, the fluid 400 is fluidly coupled to the bearing 116. As such, the bearing 116 is sufficiently lubricated.
- the above-described housing 102 therefore provides a direct fluid or lube path to the bearing 116.
- Fluid 400 is dispersed from a fluid source onto a housing wall, e.g., inner wall 104 or side wall 106.
- a housing wall e.g., inner wall 104 or side wall 106.
- Gravity and the angular orientations of the housing walls allow a sufficient amount of fluid 400 to flow into contact with the bearing 116 and provide adequate lubrication.
- a lube path is not required to pass through holes or openings formed in a shaft.
- the transmission 100 can withstand higher torque and provide greater power to the vehicle.
